yes sir... look for a turbo desiel jetta and take the turbo + manifold.
tell me what you want to spend, and I'll tell you if it's worth it.
I have researched this a lot for these cars, having owned VW's all my life..

8v's seem to be pretty stout, but you have to figure out what turbo you want. 5-7 psi on one turbo is way different then another.
another option is 16v, ben ran a 15.7 with his i believe, not bad considering how close to stock it was (exhaust, cam, chip, etc.) and its an 87. (feel free to make any corrections ben).

Ben I was thinking in the 1500-2000 $ range I will probably be using all Used Parts.
Also so if I grab the Turbo D EXh Manifold could I fit say a T28 Turbo on it....what is the stock Turbo on 8V TD???
Thanks alot Ben

I'm guessing that the td cars have kkk turbos just like any other vw,audi,porsche.So no a t28 won't bolt on.
Here's a low buck idea:
Get a old 8v exh manifold from a mk1(6 bolt pattern),build or have built an adapter to what ever flange you want.It may sound kinda ghetto but for the bucks your looking to spend it would suit the purpose.
